Pet Columbarium
Leong San Buddhist Temple is proud to be the first Buddhist temple in Singapore to offer a dedicated pet columbarium open to all companion animals. We provide both lease and freehold niche spaces, giving families the option that best suits their needs.
In Buddhism, all animals are considered part of 众生 (zhòngshēng) , meaning all sentient beings, deserving of compassion, respect, and dignity. Our pets share in the cycle of birth, life, and passing just as we do, and their lives hold meaning and worth.
Our pet columbarium is a serene, sheltered space within the temple grounds where families can place the ashes of their beloved companions and return to pay their respects at any time.
Whether you choose a lease or freehold arrangement, each niche is maintained with the same care and reverence we extend to all who rest within our temple. For enquiries on availability and pricing, please contact us directly.
